Screen stays blank during boot after 2025-03-05 stable update

Hi everyone,
After the last update, the screen stays completely blank during boot – No boot screen or anything.
I have full disk encryption with luks, and it usually prompts me for the password at startup. Luckily, I am still able to enter the encryption password, after which everything appears to be working normally. So it seems that for some reason, the screen cannot be accessed during boot.
I already tried checking the journal and comparing it to entries from previous boots (before the update). I could not find any notable differences.
I also could not find any similar reports online

Any ideas what to try next? Luckily it’s not super urgent, but for instance, if I had to boot from a USB stick, I would have to guess my way through the GRUB menu, so I’d rather have it fixed…

Thanks for your response!
I did scan the update announcements and System Updates category and could not find an issue that matched. Some sounded similar, but did not seem related to mine (e.g. Screen not working at all, or being unable to boot, which both do not apply). Can you tell me which threads you think could be related?

Here is the system information, for anyone interested:
